Honestly, you used to see topless pretty much anywhere along Orient. Anymore, not as much. It is still perfectly acceptable anywhere on the French side. As to whether others will also be participating, it depends on the day. Of course you can always wear some type of a cover-up and remove it, depending on how others are dressed. Or of course, just head to the Club O section..

Last April we saw several women partaking at the different chair rentals along the beach. a few would take an afternoon walk from Club O to the north end of the beach, but it certainly wasn't a majority. I did not notice anyone at the beach bars other than Club O, but there wasn't many bars up and running then either.

We have been on Orent since last Friday mostly in the front row of La Playa chairs. ..20EU / USA for 2 / umbrella
There are top less in all three rows of chairs. Changes day to day. This is seen in front of bikini kontiki...all along. Less so as you head to Mt Vernon end.
Walkers are all day happening but rarely amongst under 35
Have been a couple of completely nude males walking mid-day but they are rare.
Have not seen topless at bars where we have lunched....kontiki bikini playa or kakako
After every Monday and Tuesday even the calendar says WTF.

The vibe has changed for sure. You don't see to many if any ordering drinks topless. IMHO. I think that is because everything is all so new. In a year or so, we'll see the beach bars be more comfortable with topless patrons. As it was pre Irma. Back in November we saw about what it use to be walking the beach. That much hasn't changed.
Sand Gravity, got to love it!

It's legal, and it's really up to you. You might start a trend that day!!!!

Sometimes common sense comes off with the top. Just saying. Yesterday there was one nude guy lying in 2nd row of chairs near Kakao. That IMO is pushing the norm

Simple solution---come on up to New York State. Females can go topless anywhere a male can. Might suggest Lake Placid this weekend. Saturday AM forecasted to be -14 F.
Won't need sunscreen. Bring plenty of chap stick.

T and P! Not sure if you remember us or not but we've met a few times at Club O's beach in years past. When are you going this Spring? We've got two trips booked right now - April 10-20 and June 12-26, so maybe we'll overlap in April?
Regarding your original question, been there 6 times since Irma and our thought is that topless on Orient, obviously excluding Club O, is much less than it used to be. I'd say "infrequent" and mostly discreet (i.e., on the lounger, rarely while walking around).
At Club O, we think it's pretty much the same - nekkid people who're just as friendly as always!

My two cents on the topic. Sunbath, Swim, walk top less no big deal. But once you enter an establishment or just walk up to a bar - cover up. Even with a sarong. Except for of course the places on the Club Orient property. But do what you feel comfortable with and enjoy!!!!! I agree.

It's your right to be topless. We just returned from Orient Beach. On a walk from "Pedro's" to Coco, saw about 12 women topless. But, I was not looking really hard. The beach was about 50% full.
